CRICKET: Oxfordshire's girls triumph

Oxfordshire Under 11 girls kept their nerve to record a two-wicket victory over Northants at Brackley.

Having put the hosts in to bat, Oxon restricted them to 66-7 off 30 overs, with Sadie Timbs taking 2-4.

Oxon were then reduced to 20-5, before Alice Potter and Timbs, who top-scored with 15, turned the innings round and they scraped home with victory achieved courtesy of a wide with three overs to spare.
